Tacos Gobernador
These delicious tacos were created in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, when the governor went to eat to a restaurant in this city, the owners of the restaurant made these tacos to welcome him, when he asked what was the name of the tacos, they didn’t know what to say, to the governor called them “tacos Gobernador”.
Whatever the story behind these delicious tacos is, there is no doubt about it that they are amazing and easy to make.
